Follow & Book Blogger Hop

Its been a long time since I participated in some Friday hops and I have forgotten how much fun they are! If you are new to My Life With Books leave a comment saying hi so I can check out your blog. I love discovering new blogs and meeting new people!

OJV FF Feature & Follow #119Q: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?
 
A: Obviously my favorite genre is paranormal, but it only accounts for half of what I read. After a paranormal burnout I had last month I have been into contemporary romance pretty heavily.
 
At this point my favorite contemporary romance has been Ophelia London's Playing at Love. Its cute, fun, relatable and sweet. One of my faves for the year.

Q: How did you find out about book blogging and what made you decide to start one yourself?
 
Book Blogger HopA: At the time I started My Life With Books I was a newly stay at home mom that had devoured every YA or Paranormal book my small town library had to offer. I went in search of recommended reading online and discovered a whole new wold of bloggers devoted to reading and I fell in love. I followed the book blogs for about nine months before I started thinking about starting one up. Three months after that MLWB was born.
I decided to start book blogging because I was reading so many books and so many of my friends wanted to know what I recommended reading. Blogging was a natural way to keep track of books I liked while promoting them at the same time.
 
So far I have loved book blogging. While I don't always have the time I wish I had to devote to it, I wouldn't change it. The last 2 1/2 years have gone by quick. My blog has changed, and changed me, so much - I love it and don't know that I could ever stop. ♥

I agree...it would leave a huge hole in my life if I stopped blogging.

Nice post.

I know exactly what you mean when... I tend to resort to Romance books when I have had enough of YA!

I tend to pick up anything ya so when I leave my genre I go for an adult book or a middle school book

I haven't read too much contemporary romance, though I do have some in my seemingly infinite eBook collection that I should probably take a look at. :)
